Abstract

Diagnostic procedures in nephrology and urology attempt to assess the functional and/or anatomic integrity of the kidney or the urinary tract. Most direct diagnostic procedures, e.g., biopsy, arteriography, or retrograde pyelography, are uncomfortably invasive. Such procedures, although revealing specific and often unique information, are neither universally applicable nor commonly required. Investigation of the renal system for most clinical purposes is usually indirect and noninvasive. Noninvasive assessment requires interpretation of data from serum samples, analysis of urine, isotope studies, and various imaging procedures, e.g., scintigraphy, sonography, and radiography. This review will concentrate on recent reports pertaining to examination of the urine, use of isotopes, and developments in various imaging techniques.
